RimWorld utilizes a variety of different resources. All resources have to be hauled to a Stockpile to be used.

Silver

Used for trading

Silver is used for trading with traders, however each trader has a limited stock you can buy from. Silver is used to buy slaves, resources, and weapons. Additionally, traders will buy resources relevant to their specialization. Industrial Traders will buy silver, uranium, metal and wooden planks, Combat Traders will buy weapons, and Food Traders will buy food. Silver in great quantity is among the wreckage at the start of the game. After this silver is depleted, additional silver may only be obtained through random drops, trading or mining silver deposits.

Metal

Used for advanced construction

Metal is the primary resource for mid to late game construction, and is therefore vital. Metal appears at your crash site when a new game is started. After this metal is exhausted, it can be obtained through random drops or mining. Metal can be mined from minerals, which are found in mineral veins in the mountains. Industrial traders buy and sell metal. Template:Clr

Plasteel

Generally considered the strongest material in the game. Used for a lot of high tech stuff.

Gold

A very beautiful and expensive resource.

Stone

Used for stone construction

Stone is produced from rock rubble via a Stonecutter's table after it is researched. To create stone right click the table, click 'Bills', and use the + and - buttons to set how many pieces of rubble you wish to consume. You must have a colonist with 'crafting' enabled in the Overview menu. Stone can also be mined from abandoned structures that are randomly scattered throughout the map. Stone is primarily used in stone walls and floors. Template:Clr

Logs

Used for basic construction

Logs are gathered from trees using the Chop Wood command and are vital to early game construction. Template:Clr

Medikits

Used to heal colonists.

Medikits can be traded for profit or used to heal colonists and prisoners (if allow medicine is selected in the prisoner tab). When used it gives an increased chance of applying Good Treatment to the injured colonist, while no medicine guarantees Bad Treatment. Template:Clr
